I'm sorry, I believe you have dialed the wrong number. Perhaps you were trying to reach the other Dr. Brilliant, the esteemed neuro-muscular specialist. The is Dr. Brilliant the renowned cranio-proctologist.

Man, if I had a nickel for every time this happened to me (and by me I mean your friendly neighbourhood scapegoat/bullseye a.k.a. The House Officer) I'd be moving into Robin Gibb's mansion right now. (Too soon? Sorry.)

Begging your pardon, I would have thought you and Dr. Brill would each (instantly?) call up the patient's chart on your respective computer screens so that you could have a knowledge-based discussion about a case over the phone?

Or, perhaps Dr. Brill has a mind like a computer (don't need one), but a memory like a sieve? :-))
